Feadship

Feadship Royal Dutch Shipyards

Based in the Netherlands, Feadship is universally recognised as the world’s number one brand in luxury motoryachts. Feadship is short for the First Export Association of Dutch SHIPbuilders and is a cooperation between three of the most renowned names in yachting: Koninklijke De Vries Scheepsbouw, Royal Van Lent and De Voogt Naval Architects.

While Feadship was founded in 1949, the combined roots of the group’s members date back another century to 1849. The experience and expertise in building the very finest custom superyachts is unrivalled, helping ensure that each Feadship is an investment in the future. The dedicated refit facilities also ensure that Feadships retain their value for many more years to come.

Feadship made its reputation as a builder of fully customised motoryachts, and bespoke yachts from around 50 metres remain its primary business today. At the same time, customisation in its purest sense comes at a price. While technically feasible to create tailor-made Feadships in the mid-size range, the costs of such quality are high. This is why Feadship now offers two custom-series designs: The F45 Vantage and the SL39.

Feadships are renowned for keeping their value, making an investment in pleasure a prudent move. While the lifestyle is as varied as the owners of the global Feadship fleet, all have in common a degree of luxury that cannot be easily put into words. But if you have ever sailed on a Feadship you will know that nothing else comes close to this level of style and sophistication. Is it the history of the yards, which can be traced back to 1849, that defines Feadship quality? Or is it the constant innovations in design, engineering, construction and finishing that make the difference? The answer is ‘all this and more’... Much more.
